Another Progressive Tentacle Curling Around Catholic Donations

This one is none other than Alexia Kelley, who recently assumed the presidency of FADICA, Foundations and Donors Interested in Catholic Activities.  This organization seems to have influence regarding the donations of some Catholic donors to Catholic causes - or causes that claim to be Catholic (as the case may be).

Kelley's resume includes the following:

• senior official for President Barack Obama’s Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships – two at the Health and Human Services department’s center as its director, and the last as senior policy advisor at the White House office (from the NCR article)".  Given the HHS mandate that has spewed forth from Kathleen Sebelius's brain, I daresay that Kelley's influence there has been, at best, a dud.  If she did have any "influence" at HHS, I shudder (for her sake) to think what that may have been.
• a ten-year stint with the national CCHD.  This blog and many other outlets have been detailing the mischief wrought by the national CCHD in funneling our donation dollars to inimical organizations.  If she had any voice in such direction, one can just imagine the direction she might give to FADICA donors.
• a "religious advisor" for John Kerry's presidential campaign. Like Drinan advised the Kennedys?
• co-founder of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.  I've written many times on this Soros-funded CINO group.  Read my previous blog posts and be reminded of all the squalid undertakings of CACG over the years - remembering that Kelley is a founder of that bunch.

I would advise any Catholic who is serious about the usage of their donation dollars to stay clear of FADICA while Alexia Kelley is at its helm.

Dissent-Fest At Catholic University Of America, May 2-3

Catholic University of America is hosting a conference entitled “120th Anniversary of Rerum Novarum: Church, Labor, and the New Things of the Modern World."  It will be held at the Edward J. Pryzbyla Center from May 2 till May 3.  More details can be found on this CUA page.

What we really have here is another venue from which to plug a progressive, socialistic mindset that masquerades as authentic Catholic social teaching.  It is anything but real teaching.  Let's look at the gang of usual supects that are some of the speakers at this thing.  It is quite eye-opening!
